Planning to use for desk chair & also yoga. I'm 5'10, I figure the 75mm. Also do you like the sand? My old one didn't have that. Curious about it.

you are 4" taller than I am, so you should go up to the next size. I love the sand a lot better. It provides much more stability. would buy this again! love it

Dear Amanda, the sand is totally fine, I like it with sand, because the ball doesn't shift on the floor and doesn't roll under my weight. I had no problem with sand at all. The ball is sturdy enough to use as a chair. It won't burst. I am recommending it. Just keep the spare closure pins found in the package.

I'm 5'2" and 135-140 pounds, think it would work for me as a desk chair? Sounds like it but I just wanted to ask.

I personally like to have a good 1/2 inch thick, 72inch long, 30inch wide yoga mat even on top of comfy carpet, so especially on concrete. My hands and knees in particular get rough way too easy when doing certain poses and pushups and a few other things. The majority of the 1st month workouts in particular would be okay with no padding, but it is all about personal tolerance and preference. I hope that helped a little :)

That's what I could grasp from reading different sources on the internet. I have a 86205 and I'm very happy with it. 2 months and counting. I'm a big guy - 6'5 and 230lbs. No sign of sagging or ruining the seat or back. Working from home almost on a daily basis and the chair is comfortable to spend all day in it.

I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect. I does take some maneuvering inside but passes over rugs and thresholds easily compared to stand up walker. It truly is all terrain as I've been in grass, gravel, streets without problem. However, watch and tighten the bottom screw between the front wheel cables as it loosens & could easily be lost. We also had to adjust brakes substantially. Brake shouldn't be counted on to stop you! I covered black pad with lambswool (the real stuff from Ocean State Job Lots as a floor buffer mat @$5) as knee can get sore and sun absorbs blistering heat. Love that this size is substantially cheaper than next size up, too I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect.

It has been fine for me. I'm 5'10". I haven't had any issues. My wife is 5'6" and she doesn't have any issues either. She uses it more than I do. When I do use it I have no troubles.

I am 2" less - but weigh close to the same - after several months, chair has been great - plenty of cushion and the front edge rolls down - doesn't create the pressure on the back side of the legs. It's sits about 2" higher than most - also nice as found many great chairs that seemed too short. The chair is solid - its heavier than most and assembles simply. Mine gets 8-10 hours of use per day - only wish I had found it sooner as I spent a lot more on the prior chair - it didn't last 3-years before the pot metal gave way. I know how frustrating it can be to find a good chair - good luck in your search.

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

I am 5'6" and have it on a desk...perfect....I do not have it in the lowest setting so am sure you an make this work!

it's great and very cushy, as long as you are not doing hot yoga. If you are it gets slippery with perspiration. I tried my Gaiam mat a few times, then ended up splurging on one of those expensive Lululemon ones.

My son uses it to play Xbox sometimes...but he seems to prefer the coach. He is only 5'6". It might not be ideal for someone over 6'. Nice chair overall though.

I'm a 5'8" woman and it was fine, the arms are a little lower than normal chairs I've sat in, but in some ways (after you get use to it) it's actually better. But I had to return the chair since it broke after a week (as explained in my comment), so I'm not exactly the person you may want to speak to.

The previous comments are spot on. The only thing I don't like about the chair are the arms. They are only 10 inches long. That only comes to the middle of my forarms, would have liked something that that would have extended out more so that more of my arm could rest on it. Otherwise I do like the chair. I use it for work and I sit at a computer all day and the mesh is very comfortable.

I love the desk and how it looks. However, I'm 5'4" and there is only about 2" between my legs and the bottom of the desk. An office chair, that rolls, is out of the question. I'm using a low chair from an old dinette set. I've been trying to think of a way to raise the desk about 4" without it looking crappy. If the legs were longer the desk would be perfect. Very sturdy.

I'm 5 foot seven and the chair was too high for my feet to touch the ground, and that was at the lowest setting it would go. I only use it occasionally at my desk. I had to purchase a different brand you use on a daily basis. But the chair was at a good price. I hope this was some help to you. Otherwise I think it would be comfortable it's well-made.

I am 5' 8". I love this chair. I sit on it for hours while working at home. It is vey comfortable. I forget it is supposed to be an exercise chair.

I have this item which I paid $70 for but could not use. It is very comfortable but not for a tall skinny guy. I will gladly see you this item for $50-used for 1/2 a block(essentially a trial to see if it was for me) If interested email me at DrCPsychman@aol.com and I'll ship it to you UPS.
